- 本菲卡在本赛季的所有比赛中都保持了9场不败（W7，D2）。
- 老鹰队在四场欧冠资格赛中没有丢球。
- 卡拉巴格从未在欧冠联赛中赢得过客场比赛。
本菲卡将以常规的成功开始
本菲卡以令人印象深刻的方式开始了本赛季，因为他们在所有比赛中的九场比赛中保持不败，最值得注意的是，他们通过与尼斯和费内巴切的棘手的欧冠预选赛进入了联赛阶段。
老鹰队在这两场欧洲比赛中甚至没有失球，当卡拉巴格长途前往里斯本时，他们将有信心获得另一个积极的结果和零失球。
Jaded Qarabag可能在长途旅行后挣扎
卡拉巴格已经通过了三轮资格赛，进入了联赛阶段，他们在谢尔伯恩、什肯迪贾，以及最值得注意的费伦茨瓦罗斯取得了令人印象深刻的客场胜利。
然而，阿塞拜疆冠军在欧洲传统上并不是伟大的旅行者，在上赛季的联赛阶段输掉了四场客场比赛中的三场；而他们之前在欧洲冠军联赛中的唯一一次出场，在三场客场比赛中只得到一分一球。
本菲卡应该在不失球的情况下赢得这场比赛，并且在资格赛中以2比0战胜尼斯，他们可以在周二追平比分。
- Benfica are unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions this season (W7, D2).
- The Eagles did not concede a single goal across their four Champions League qualifying fixtures.
- Qarabag have never won an away match in the Champions League proper.
Benfica to start with routine success
Benfica have started the season in impressive fashion, as they are unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions, most notably negotiating their way through tricky Champions League qualifiers against both Nice and Fenerbahce to reach the league stage.
The Eagles did not even concede a goal across those two European ties and they will be confident of gaining another positive result and clean-sheet when Qarabag make the long trip to Lisbon.
Jaded Qarabag may struggle after long trip
Qarabag have come through three qualifying rounds to reach the league phase and they recorded impressive away wins at Shelbourne, Shkendija and, most notably, Ferencvaros along the way.
However, the Azerbaijani champions are not traditionally great travellers in Europe, losing three of their four away matches in the league phase of last season’s Europa League, while their only previous appearance in the Champions league proper saw them pick up just one point and one goal from three road fixtures.
This is a match Benfica should win without conceding, and having recorded a pair of 2-0 victories over Nice in qualifying, they can follow up by matching that scoreline on Tuesday.
